Step 3: The urn with flowers and wreath on the door were cut from this set 1010 – CountryScapes – Backyard 2 also from Elizabeth Craft Designs:

Cut one urn, the flowers for the urn and the pieces for the wreath. I cut all the tiny flower pcs. for the urn and wreath from pink cardstock. The wreath itself, bow, urn leaves I cut from white cardstock and color with Copic Markers.

Step 4: I love digital stamps because you can resize them. For this card I chose “Caffeinated Craig” from Dr. Digi House of Stamps:

Print and size “Craig” to 3.25″, color and fussy cut him out.

Step 5: I created the sentiment on my computer and cut it out with the smallest die from this set by Spellbinders “Card Creator”:

I applied, a with a light touch, PanPastel’s “black” to distress the edges.

You should now be ready to assemble the card:

Step 6: Cut the cross pcs. out of the door window and glue the Art Impression colored stamped image behind the door as shown above.

Make base card by cutting a pc. of 12 x12″ cardstock in half. Score one of the halves at 6″ on the long side. Fold over. I chose Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Cardstock Dove Gray. I love this cardstock because it’s colored on one side only. This is a great choice when you want to stamp a sentiment on the inside.

Step 7: Cut a 5.75″ square of designer paper or cardstock that will look like the side of a house. I chose this brick paper from Michaels because of the colors, but you could also use a “wood grain” look.

Adhere the door, with image behind it to the left lower side as pictured. I curved “Craig” slightly with my thumbs. Then I adhered him to the card as shown by gluing only his shoes to the card and putting a foam dot behind him about where the donut is. Now add your floral pcs. and the sentiment and that’s it!

Thanks so much for having a look. I love to make pretty cards but also find it really fun to make a funny card sometimes. I’d love you to leave a message so I know who stopped by. I love to read them!

I have been crafting with paper for several yrs. now. I am a single mother of four grown children (2 boys, 2 girls) and a grandmother of 6 (5 girls and 1 boy). I still work as a hairdresser part time at a beautiful retirement community in San Ramon, CA My passions are: gardening, sewing and crafting with paper while watching my favorite TV shows. I have an amazing dog named Shelby who I just can't imagine life without. I hope, with this blog, that I will inspire, teach, prevent costly mistakes in your journey and well, just have a lot of fun creating.
